$316,500 total acquisition cost, $55K~ approx. rehab cost.A lot of the major costs (plumbing, electrical, roofing) were needed to pass inspection upon re-sale so I had no choice. 

I hate to leave money on the table, but I believe I made the right choice by taking the bird in the hand and not risking 180 days on the market.

Billing directly as the others have stated would be the logical choice as long as your lease agreement supports it.

So, we set up a time and tell them they can be there or not, their choice.
